Alteration of somatostatin receptor 2 expression in canine mammary gland tumor

Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is a negative regulator of cell proliferation in human breast cancer. Since there is little information about SSTR2 in canine mammary gland tumor (MGT), we clarified its distribution and expression level in normal mammary gland, benign MGT and malignant MGT. SSTR2 expression determined by immunohistochemical staining was observed in the cytoplasm of luminal epithelial cells. The intensity was negatively correlated with malignancy: normal tissues and some of the benign tumors had the highest levels, while the malignant tumors had little or no SSTR2 expression. As for the Western blotting, SSTR2 protein level in benign tumors was significantly lower than the normal mammary gland. On the other hand, SSTR2 protein levels in two of three malignant tumors were higher than the other groups. These results suggest that SSTR2 expression alters according to the malignancy of canine MGT.     

Microdialysis measurement of intracerebral somatostatin in the goat

A microdialysis sampling technique for the intracerebral measurement of somatostatin (SS) in extracellular fluid was examined in the goat. The microdialysis probe (70-mm shaft, 0.5 mm outer diameter) contained at its tip a 4-mm length of copolymer dialysis membrane (20 kDa cut-off). Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (artificial CSF) was pumped through the probe tip at a rate of 4 μl/min with a battery-driven syringe pump, and effluent fractions of dialysate (120 μl) were collected every 30 min. An in vitro recovery test showed that changes in the SS concentration in dialysate were highly correlated (r = 0.95, P < 0.01) with those in the external medium, and the relative recovery averaged 2.0%. As a validation for in vivo microdialysis, trails were conducted with conscious behaving goats wherein the inflow dialysate was changed transiently from artificial CSF with low potassium (2.5 mM) to a solution of 300 mM KCl. Potassium-induced depolarization around the probe tip located in the preoptic area and in the hypothalamus induced an increase in SS concentrations in dialysate at each location. In the most remarkable response, the concentrations of SS were increased 6-fold and 11-fold in the first and second 30-min fractions, respectively, compared with prepotassium concentrations. These results suggest that intracerebral SS levels in extracellular fluid could be estimated from conscious behaving goats by the use of our intracerebral microdialysis system.     

生长抑素的作用及调控技术研究进展

生长是一个高度协同的复杂生理过程,神经内分泌轴在动物的生长发育调控中起着最关键的作用。作为调控生长的核心,生长激素(GrowthHormone,GH)的分泌主要受下丘脑分泌的生长激素释放因子和生长激素释放抑制因子的双向调节,其中生长抑素是抑制垂体GH分泌的主要下丘脑激素。目前通过人工方式调节动物体内的生长抑素含量,提高GH和胰岛素样生长因子(IGF-I)等与生长相关因子水平,进而促进动物生长方面的研究已取得明显效果,日益受到人们重视。1 生长抑素的化学结构、体内分布及代谢     

Inhibition of glucose-induced insulin secretion by somatostatin in goats

Somatostatin inhibited glucose-induced insulin secretion in intact goats. The duration of the inhibition was short (10 minutes) which suggests that somatostatin was rapidly metabolised. The inhibitory effect of somatostatin was followed by a recovery period during which high levels of insulin were attained. These higher concentrations of insulin in the 30 to 60 minutes after somatostatin infusion, were accompanied by lowered free fatty acid and beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations. It is suggested that the effects of somatostatin on these metabolites is brought about by modulation of insulin secretion and not by a direct effect of somatostatin on target tissues.

Effects of somatostatin immunoneutralization on growth and endocrine parameters in chickens

The effects of somatostatin immunoneutralization on growth rate, growth hormone (GH) secretion and circulating insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations were investigated in chickens through the use of passive and active immunization techniques. Intravenous bolus injection of goat-antisomatostatin stimulated a significant (P less than .05) increase in plasma GH levels for one hour post-injection in four and six week old male broiler chickens. The GH response to an intravenous bolus injection of hGRF44NH2 was similar in the antisomatostatin treated chicks and normal goat serum treated controls. Despite the presence of circulating somatostatin antisera after 28 hours, plasma GH levels were not different between control and antisomatostatin-treated chicks at that time. Continuous administration of somatostatin antisera by Alzet pump over a two-week period resulted in significant (P less than .05) elevations in plasma GH levels at one week post-implantation and in circulating IGF-I concentrations after two weeks of administration. Chicks which developed antibodies against somatostatin following active immunization exhibited a 7.1% increase in growth rate which was associated with a significant decrease in abdominal fat. However, neither GH nor IGF-I concentrations were elevated in the chicks which developed somatostatin antibodies. Thus, the benefits gained from somatostatin immunoneutralization may be exerted through mechanisms other than GH.
